Description:
Intact cells of pseudomonas cepacia strain G4 completely degraded trichloroethylene (TCE) following growth with phenol. egradation kinetics were determined for both phenol, used to induce requisite enzymes, and TCE, the target substrate. pparent Ks and Vmax values for degradation of phenol by cells were 8.5 uM and 466 nmole/(min g protein), respectively. t phenol concentrations above 50 uM, phenol degradation was inhibited, yielding an apparent ki of 0.45 mM as modeled by the Haldane expression.
